Pours a murky dark orange-brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of brown sugar, citrus fruit, and candied citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus fruit and citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is drinkable, but nothing too memorable for the style in my opinion.

On tap in a local bar in Hilo, Hawai'i. Appearance was golden with nice-sized head and beaucoup lacing. Smell was simillar to night flowering ugli fruit and pomegranates. Mouthfeel was smooth, malty and bitter. Taste was nicely balanced between malts and hops with a delicious lingering bitterness. Definitely a good brew for the style. Worth buying and drinking on frequent occasions.
